Radial Duplicator - Radial Array and Instances

This is a blender add-on for fast creation of radial (circular) arrays, screw modifiers and duplicating objects radially around the 3D cursor.

Duplicates have adjustable parameters that are continuously available even after you move, scale or rotate them.

These parameters are accessible either through the panel in the sidebar or by shortcuts in the add-on preferences.

Example of radial array parameters in the sidebar

Usage examples:

To change a parameter in the overlay press a corresponding button and move the mouse cursor horizontally.

To reset a parameter press alt+button.

The number of duplicates can also be changed by scrolling with the mouse or typing a number directly from the keyboard.
